Our Wylde Green funeral services are also available to all those in the surrounding areas and across mainland UK. Wherever you are, you can feel reassured that your loved ones will be professionally and compassionately looked after.

Distinct Cremations

There are many meaningful locations in and around Wylde Green for scattering ashes once they have been hand-delivered back.

However, please note before you do so that you must gain permission from the landowner or local authority first.

Long Grass In Field

Scattering ashes in nature

Scattering ashes can be a very important part of the grieving process and a local park is one of the locations you could consider. Pype Hayes Park, located near Wylde Green, is a beautiful location with a fishing pond, trails and a beautiful flower garden.

Family Looking Out Over Lake

Scattering ashes over water

Alternatively, you may be more drawn to water as a place to scatter your family member or friend's ashes. Brookvale Park near Stockland Green is home to a beautiful lake which may be a perfect and tranquil spot.

Local Grass Football Field

Scattering ashes somewhere meaningful

For those in Wylde Green, the historic Grade II listed Emmanuel Church may be a meaningful location to scatter ashes, especially for those who were of the Church of England faith.

With a direct cremation, you have the freedom to arrange a personal memorial service of your choosing in your own time. Places in and around Wylde Green that may be suited to your memorial service include church halls, village or town halls, sports or social clubs, pubs, restaurants or hotels.

Falcon Lodge Community Hub

The Falcon Lodge Community Hub is a great venue for a memorial service which has a community hall which can host large groups and even a room called The Retreat for those who want a bit of time away from the hubbub.

A local pub

Have you considered a local pub for your wake venue? Pubs like Anvil Inn or Pesto are ideal for providing refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere. Most pubs that serve food can also provide a buffet spread for your guests too so you can reminisce and remember without the stress of hosting.

Falcon Lodge Methodist Church

The Falcon Lodge Methodist Church has two rooms, a lounge and a fully fitted kitchen that can be hired on any day throughout the week. Though this venue would be perfect for followers of the Methodist Church, the rooms can be hired by someone of any faith.

The people at Distinct Cremations were all so kind and very helpful. They always had answers for all of my questions. I received my partners ashes when they were promised with a half hours notice before they were actually delivered, which was nice.

None of the family (or wider circle of friends) had experienced this type of service prior to this occasion. Kerry Ludlow was so helpful & kind during such a difficult & emotional time. The whole process went really really smoothly & was exactly as we had hoped for. Kerry’s help with the paperwork & suggestions, we hadn’t thought of, was very very much appreciated. At such difficult times, it’s hard to make decisions & think of things, but we were all so very grateful for the care offered & given. The crematorium at SirHowy was very peaceful, with lovely open spaces. Anna our chapel attendant on the day was also very very lovely & so kind, as was the gentleman (I’m so sorry we didn’t take or remember his name) who assisted us when we collected our Dad’s ashes. The whole process went so smoothly, please pass on our gratitude to Kerry, Anna & everyone concerned. Thank you very very much .

I am deeply grateful to the staff at Distinct Cremations for their kindness and compassion during this process. From start to finish, they handled every detail with great care and respect, giving my husband a beautiful farewell. Also a special thank you to Sarah Miller for her professionalism and care. Their support and gentle guidance provided immense comfort, and I truly appreciate their dedication to making this experience as smooth and meaningful as possible. Thank you for helping me honor his memory with dignity and peace." Mrs G padfield

Courteous service from start to end. All questions were answered promptly. It was very reassuring to know that my friend was in good hands and I didn't need to do anything until his ashes were returned to me.
